F- body 2gen. Fuel tank relocation
I raised this question earlier but didn't get much respond. So I try again.
On the 2gen; the fuel tank from a Opel manta fits perfect between the rear inne wheel housings. this is approx 50l.
- I will still have enough room in the trunk.
- Removing the tank from trunk floor I can use this place for mufflers. No more damaged mufflers.
- Can use a filler Aero/MC style filler cap on top of fender.
BUT what will happen with the weight distrubution ? Relocate from the rear of axle to top of axle ?
Regards
Olav

Front/rear will improve but I suspect the higher CG from a full tank of fuel sitting that high up will be detrimental to handling .
